Self-Sufficiency at its
Finest!
Welcome to your dream
homestead, where year-round natural beauty and self-sufficiency unite. This stunning property features a pristine Spring Creek,
lush pastures, established gardens, a high-tunnel greenhouse, a variety of
fruit trees and berries, a versatile shop, a well-equipped barn with stalls,
and a charming office building/she-shed. All of this is just one mile from the
serene North Fork of the White River. The fertile land is ideal for growing a
diverse range of produce, with 210 days of sunshine and 45 inches of annual
rainfall.
This secluded
multi-generational property is nestled in a highly desirable area with
wonderful neighbors. Nature enthusiasts will relish the native persimmons, wild
grapes, hickory, black walnut, pine, white oak, hazelnut, and more. Despite its
serene seclusion, the farm is conveniently located within a 21-24 minute drive
to the charming Ozark towns of Mountain Grove, Cabool, and Willow Springs, just
45 minutes to West Plains, 1 hour 20 minutes to Springfield, 1 hour 40 minutes
to Branson, and 3 hours to St. Louis.
